Ten, Paul, can you imagine what Linley Gwennap said in that article? He said that Itanium probably won't achieve more than 30% performance advantage over Alpha, and while that might seem hefty, it won't put everyone else out of business. Can you believe that coming from a "well-respected" analyst in the industry? "Only" a 30% advantage, he says. Meanwhile, the same guy was going ga-ga over Athlon, but that processor can't even hope to gain a 30% advantage over Pentium III. What a hypocrite. By the tone of your post, you are implying that Itanium will be significantly better in performance than Alpha. Is that a safe thing to say? I don't believe we've seen anything about Itanium performance, so this is new territory, as far as I'm concerned. From your tone, I can't complain. Tony

Besides, He's moved on - left Microdesign to do his own thing. He will join Nathan Brookwood and Dean McCarrot as the PUNDITS that journalists quote whenever they need a BASH at Intel. Paul
